The Game Of The State Of The Union
While watching the live-stream of Obama's third State Of The Union speech here, why not enjoy BNP's 'p(o)ints game'?
Thanks to BNP's Bricklin Dwyer for the 'game' below and for noting that Obama's approval rating is 44% (approval has tracked the stock market/GDP higher since October's sub-40% trough) versus a disapproval rating of 47%.
For those looking for the over/under on the speech length, Obama's speeches have averaged 1:05:27 (and average only beaten by Clinton)

Mitt Romney’s State of the Union Challenge on the Mortgage Crisis
"We’re just so overleveraged, so much debt in our society, and some of the institutions that hold it aren’t willing to write it off and say they made a mistake, they loaned too much, we’re overextended, write those down and start over. They keep on trying to harangue and pretend what they have on their books is still what it’s worth."
"The banks are scared to death, of course, because they think they’re going to go out of business… They’re afraid that if they write all these loans off, they’re going to go broke. And so they’re feeling the same thing you’re feeling. They just want to pretend all of this is going to get paid someday so they don’t have to write it off and potentially go out of business themselves.”
"This is cascading throughout our system and in some respects government is trying to just hold things in place, hoping things get better… My own view is you recognize the distress, you take the loss and let people reset. Let people start over again, let the banks start over again. Those that are prudent will be able to restart, those that aren’t will go out of business. This effort to try and exact the burden of their mistakes on homeowners and commercial property owners, I think, is a mistake."

State of the Union: Shit is Fucked Up!
I'm from the future. I already have a highlight reel of Black Bush's State of the Union reading...

Dedicated to our glorious leader: Comrade President Obama!
How many lies is this fucker going to tell? Holy shit, it's non-stop lies. I'm gonna puke.
Did I actually hear him say that they were going to force states to REQUIRE kids to stay in high schools until 18?
He sounds like a fucking carnie trying to get us to play a shell game.
The top questions on youtube involve the NDAA, SOPA, PIPA, and the Patriot Act. They have not been mentioned. Surprise!
Bingo!!! Milestones
you rang?
Question:
Why are US Presidents intoduced as "The President of the United States"
and not "The President of the United States OF AMERICA"?
Because a Kenyan/Indonesian can't possibly hold that title.
I missed the rousing patriotic round of Hail to the Thief!!!
What were those words to that anyways?...lol.
Hail to the Chief we have chosen for the nation,
Hail to the Chief! We salute him, one and all.
Hail to the Chief, as we pledge cooperation.
In proud fulfillment of a great, noble call.
Yours is the aim to make this grand country grander,
This you will do, That's our strong, firm belief.
Hail to the one we selected as commander,
Hail to the President! Hail to the Chief!
and especially when the swearing in was intentionally flubbed!
Hey you know work of Jordan Maxwell :)
This is what real Journalism looks like (American media pussies have a lot to learn from this Irish journalist)
ECB press-conference in Ireland.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HAf7J4a_T1g
Agreed - probing journalism at its best. He asked hard questions which the guy refused to answer. Finally some outrage. Good to see.
Umm, ZHers may have forgotten it already, but 2% of the population of ireland, marched on the gov, refusing the bailouts back then... no consequences.
....what the irish population at this point is, isn't ignorant, but feeling irrelevant.
Very good....like to see him interview Timmy....
Fantastic, they should post this on the front page of zh
The correlation between the stock market and the sitting president's approval rating.
Doesn't this make for an especially fun year to watch the Federal Reserve?
By the way Mr. Bernanke, since core CPI continues to trend down (I'm absolutely certain you are on top of this), you really don't have that much time before firing off massive open market purchases under the guise of "help for homeowners". You know this to be a fact, and so do the markets, which are well ahead of you.
Have a good time in this political season! And BTW, I'm 3X leveraged short, just for proper disclosure.
The Democrat's muslim speaks. The leader of their party.
We are SAVED the big banks just threw a deck chair off the Titanic!

Mitt is a knee-pad wearing, Wall Street loving, Federal Reserve profiting, oligarchical pawn himself. Wake up.

Third SOTU?
I thought he skipped the first one.
ETA: Never mind. I guess 2012 would have been his 4th if he didn't skip 2009.
The first speech is not called the SOTU. It is done after only days in office so it is just an address.
John Boehner Cries....excellent

Winning the future +100

Hypocrisy of politics in America=Priceless
Speaking of hypocrisy:
Like Obama unveiling the MLK statue in D.C while saying MLK would be advocating more jobs in America; the statue was made in China.
I guess it's to be expected from the government sponsored propoganda machine.
I've stopped watching Obama. Not to mention the so called debates.
Why kill your soul with trash? There's too much shit in the world as it is.
no "private jets", "energy independence" or "warren buffett"? and while "jobs" is on the list it should be triple points for "green jobs".
Really it's GWB 11th State of the Union
Fuck O'Barry.
Let me be clear...ahhh...errr.
I couldn't see Joe the Plumber anywhere in the audience. Who's that guy supposed to be representing?
You'll only see those representing themselves and their master here. Except for two whose last name is Paul.
what about "red line" Hormuz" "Iran's nuclear ambitions" how much are those worth?
Moron-in-chief is almost on deck. Get your drinking MaObama goggles on.
wait better still, how many points for Obama referring to the constitution as "some old piece of paper"
"Energy", "Foreign policy", "Iran", "Nuclear weapons"
New game--Take a drink every time Obama says the word "folks".
good lord man, I do have to go to work in the morning :-)
folks. My how that stupid word pisses me the fuck off. Listen folks. Cmon folks. Fuck that!
What else goes with this bullshit? Countdowns. End of the world in 3...2...1... Wrong. Your stupid countdown is a declaration of doucheyness, nothing more. Just Sayin'
Just Sayin'. Not only does this make one come off as a prepubescent autistic drama queen, but adding the apostrophe at the end should make you eligible for execution. Just Sayin'. LOLOMGWTFBBQ!

Gotta laugh.
Thank God for TBS and Big Bang Theory

He looks like he just swallowed a cat turd. Kind of how I feel, listening to this bullshit.
The peanut galley just keeps clapping. Would they shut the applause sign off?
Will be in full Campaign mode. will state we are recovering, but a tough road ahead. Unemployment down. Osama Bin Laden dead since 2001 blah blah WTF ever!
Maybe he'll just come out and perform seppuku. Short, sweet, and honest.
I tried watching but it made me want to throw up seeing a those inbred sycophants fall all over themselves trying to shake totut's hand. I think I'll watch Planet Earth.
The gag response is indicative of a good sense of discernment. If more were so gifted we wouldn't be in this predicament.
Sounds like all that clapping is just a laugh track
They'll be no more wars, just one big love-in.
One last comment-Fuck Obama and fuck the US Marine Corp of war criminals.
War criminals? Yea, I've got some of that. Watch if you dare. Skip to around 37:15 if in hurry/ADD/etc

Permanatly would be preferable.
yeah, I had to mute obummer due to the bullshit piling high

Presenting: Barack Obama’s 2012 State of the Union Address
Theme of tonight's address: I Had a Dream Too.
Or, It's One Thing To SAY, and Another Thing to DO.
My fellow Americans,
I had a dream last week. In the dream an angel spoke to me. She said “Osama… I mean, Obama, from now on you will be a good person who will tell only the truth”. Ever since then I feel compelled to honor the angel’s wish. I’ve had a change of heart folks. It’s a brand new me! I must start by telling you that I have not been a very good President. Some of you were tipped off immediately by my Cabinet appointments. Indeed, in the past three years this administration has only made things worse. But what the hell, I’ve got one more year… let’s see what can be done about that. Upon reflection of the current state of our union entering this auspicious year of 2012 – a state which must be characterized as pathetic at best-- it is clear that America needs to tack to a new course. This country needs change. Wait. That word... change. You've been promised change by every Presidential candidate for the past 20 years haven't you? I guess the word has now lost its meaning. Well, let's just say we need to move beyond all the campaign promises that I have so conveniently forgotten about. Toward that end, I intend to front-run the upcoming election by announcing tonight the new approach America will take in 2012:
1. By aggressively attempting to control with force the so-called trouble spots around the world we are actually creating the very problems we’re (supposedly) trying to prevent. Therefore, starting tomorrow, and continuing for a trial period of one year, America’s military will stand down. The military will remain at the ready, however it will only respond to actual direct hostile action taken against America’s interests. All sanctions against Iran and other nations have deemed hostile are hereby rescinded. Iran is put on notice that if it were to preemptively attack Israel, or anyone else, in any form, with any weapon, all of NATO will immediately respond in a massive retaliation and destroy Iran’s weaponry and the means to produce it. In other words, we will reaquaint you to the Flintstones, and it will be as easy to do as sipping a martini. Furthermore, a ‘Radio Free Iran’ communication network will be set up for the purpose of broadcasting above information directly to the citizens of Iran, making it clear that a fresh start has been unilaterally offered, and America will not be the first to shoot (see below with regards to Israel).
2. Secondly, I am tonight announcing a new dictate for the Department of Energy. The department is to institute a new Manhattan type Project, dubbed ‘Manhattan 2’, whose purpose will be to make America energy independent. The city of Manhattan will be leveled to make room for the project. Wait... (hand moves to ear) I'm being told that will not be necessary. Whatever, the DOE will be given broad power to explore any rational means of developing renewable energy sources, and part of the funding will come from the military budget. Yes, the military-industrial complex is going to evolve into the energy-industrial complex. If everyone can hang on to their shorts there will be plenty of money to be made all around. After all, we’re not a bunch of communists here. To enable this project the following will be done:
a. All weapons development projects, including funding, manpower, and facilities will come under the control of the Manhattan 2 project and be re-tasked to the new directive. NASA will be at its disposal as well.
b. All lobbyist associated in any way with the oil industry are hereby banned from interacting with Congress. If the lobbyists feel this action is illegal they are welcome to pursue the matter through the courts (good luck with that). This move should facilitate all those suppressed energy technologies to emerge.
c. All funding for the Department of Homeland Security will be immediately re-tasked to the DOE. DHS personnel will be transferred to a new, yet to be announced Federal program.
3. Along with new energy technologies, America will also focus on rebuilding its manufacturing base by developing various advanced technologies designed to improve the human condition, that only America, with its unique citizenry and know-how, can do. Think of this endeavor as the new 'yes we can'. Once developed, all these new energy/other technologies will be made available for sale to any nation. Initially however, only countries holding America’s debt will be offered these technologies… in lieu of debt repayment. Should be a great alternative to that stinky old paper we’ve been trying to pass off on you. Put another way, America, in the future, will be in the business of exporting the means to create comfortable lifestyles and economic independence. In short, America will start exporting happiness rather than misery. Plan accordingly.
4. The new budget sent to Congress will include the following:
a. In addition to defunding the DHS, funding for the DEA will also be discontinued. Monies for the war on drugs will be immediately re-tasked to augment a revised program for publicly financing Federal election campaigns. A Presidential Order will be signed urging every person running for Federal office take a pledge to access only said public monies for funding their campaigns. Now, I as President cannot force a candidate to use only public funds, but for a start I sure as hell can have a website erected listing in real time the donation sources of any person running for Federal Office (including super PAC activity of course). In fact, it might be a good idea to install special government sponsored TV screens in everyones home to transmit this info! Wait.... (hand to ear) I'm being told that is not a good idea either. Ixnay on the screens.
b. A freeze will be placed on any increases in Federal Spending. All retained programs continue with 2011 funding for the foreseeable future. A constitutional convention will be convened after the elections to add amendments for; balanced budget, term limits, and publicly financed campaigns.
c. A new program for rebuilding America’s infrastructure will also be enacted. Funding for the program will be channeled initially from money currently earmarked for the Department of Education. I know, I know... we’ll have to come up with other funding of course, I just can’t think of where at the moment. However, manpower for this revitalization project will come from the ranks of the unemployed, the military personnel we will be calling back from overseas duty, as well as former TSA and DHS personnel (ha ha. told ya!).
d. Foreign Aid to Israel will from now on be dependent upon Israeli’s successful implementation of a peace doctrine. The doctrine must include:
i. Accommodation for a Palestinian State (how can Israel complain about those who deny its right to exist, when it denies another group a homeland? Don't make no sense.)
ii. The appointment of Larry David as Peace Ambassador to Palestine (Click here for video of Larry's credentials for this post)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Co_BhTxgWys.
iii. a King Solomon style 50/50 split of all occupied territories to settle the land dispute (with no whining. Peace has a price).
5. Cabinet changes. Effective immediately:
a. Kyle Bass will replace Timothy Geithner as Treasury Secretary.
b. Paul Volker will hand pick a replacement for Ben Bernanke as Chairman of the Federal Reserve.
c. Ron Paul will replace Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State (my strategy here is that Paul will be so busy telling other countries what America can’t do for them anymore he won’t have time to run a proper campaign. Tee hee.)
d. Richard Branson will replace Steven Chu as Secretary of the Department of Energy.
e. Attorney General Eric Holder will be replaced by U.S. District Court Judge Jed S. Rakoff (he’s the judge who is challenging the SEC rulings by making the big banks acknowledge their wrongdoing).
f. Larry Flint will replace Mary Schapiro at the Securities and Exchange Commission. Oh… this department will be defunded as well, including its T-1 line (hey, there’s some more money for the infrastructure rebuild! If we also decriminalize and then tax drugs I think we'll make our nut.). Anyway, I know killing the SEC will be a shock to the average investor, and those who have closely followed the department's history will be shocked shocked. But the SEC hasn't been able to control its own behaviors, let alone that of the marketplace. Justice will pick up the slack (pun not intended).
g. A new Federal agency will be created called the Department of Public Humiliation. The DPH will be attached to the Justice Department and will be tasked with prosecuting any and all persons taking part in creating the crash of 2008. Public stockades, tar & feathering, and rails (as in ‘run your greedy ass out of town on one’) will be made legal again. The DPH will have the power to claw back any existing laws that gave the culprits a get-out-of-jail-free card, and retroactively prosecute all 2008 masterminds. Judge Judy will be appointed Secretary of Humiliation to run this new agency. Some TSA personnel will be re-re-tasked to run the humiliation squads as they have the most experience.
h. Ronald Regan will return from the grave to become Whitehouse Press Secretary (more suppressed technology). The “great communicator” will convince the press to convince the public to convince anyone running for Congress that if they take a penny from corporate interests they don’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell of getting elected. If we fail to revive Regan, I know a Jedi Knight who might be available. The force can have a strong effect on the weak minded [press].
6. All electronic voting machines must be replaced with old fashioned ballots before the 2012 Presidential election. Better to risk a chad hanging here and there then to trust corporate built computing machines to report the vote (while we're at it let's outlaw the HFT computers too).
Finally, next Tuesday will be National we-apologize-to-the-whole-world-for-our-part-in-screwing-everything-up day. Details later.
My fellow Americans, this is but a small start toward the goal of truly renewing the dream we call America. I fully expect Congress to cooperate in this endeavor. However, since the Presidency is now dictarioly empowered to enact martial law and institute the aforementioned policies without resistance, I am putting Congress on notice that I will not hesitate to make it so.
PS – If you write me, direct your correspondence to my bat cave in Denver. I will be hunkered down there until the election.
IMAGiNE a nation of unicorns. We can do it!
A SSDD Obama speech ... platitudes, BS, and chicken jism.
Everyone plays by the same set of rules - oh ya
WATCHING THE PM'S TICK ON EVERY STUPID SPENDING SPREE HE MENTIONS....
PHYZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!
Here it is boys and girls:
Obama puts a percentage on the Buffet Rule: minimum 30% tax on incomes of +$1 million.
-proposes min tax for overseas profits U.S. companies
-wants to spend more on infrastructure using savings from ending wars
-New mortgage re-fi plan to help home-owners save $3,000 a year. Fee on banks to cover costs.
So if you don't spend in one area, but shift to another... err, where is the savings.
You are asking me?
I didn't say this shit makes sense.
Not #BTFD and don't ask silly questions. ;)
I know~
Is it still just silly, or is it now illegal to ask such questions?
Why is everybody clapping like its a heroes welcome? This guy broke every campaign promise he ever made and not only didnt bring the troops home he got us into like five more wars but they're all classified waged by special forces wearing guerilla rebel suits. Nigga please i can see u talking but i know u r lying bc mouth is moving...
Why? Because they're paid to.
Until a few of these pieces of shit are found walking on the street, grabbed by the throat, strangled so hard they go purple, and then have their heads smashed into the concrete below over and over and over and over until it's mush, nothing will change.
So, at that rate, I'm guessing nothing will change. Regardless, thanks for the visual.
"Everyone will play by the same set of rules" That's a new idea.
"approval has tracked the stock market/GDP higher since October's sub-40% trough"
And there we have it - no crash this year. Bullish to the stars. If all else fails, Bernanke will print. He will go through several mouse left buttons in the process.
The stats say S&P of 1500 gets him re-elected. (no sarcasm) don't bet the farm it doesn't happen.
"It was wrong, it was immoral" ... but he never says it was illegal
Obama has a yellow hue to his skin. Is there an underlying health issue, or is my television having trouble replicating the splendour of diversity that is Obama?
Well it's called "high yellow." The normal hue of a half breed, one acceptable enough to use as an affirmative action puppet by the white liberals and Jews.
Either that, or he's actually jaundiced. Maybe he's given up tobacco for the booze?
I asked my wife if he looked a tad butterscotch...?
Obama: Nothing is more urgent than my need for another 1.2 trillion. Bernak will talk about that tomorrow.
So after 2008, I turned control of my administration over to these same bankers....... GWB, that mother fucker, left me no choice.......... This shit will never happen again............I mean it this time..........You can all work for GM......or build locks........
Yeah... Fucking Master Lock bringing jobs back to America...
Let me guess... they got the government contract to lock the gates & cells at FEMA camps...
And of course, the top and side banner ads are by Obama for America.
Can I block that shit?
Go here: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts2.htm
Follow the directions.
remember last year his plan @ the SOTUA to fix the economy was to wave the magic export wand and thereby increase exports 50%
As Yves has said often - we don't need new rules to deal with the economic crisis but we need to enforce the existing ones.
My fellow world citizens. The state of the union is a fucking mess. Therefore we shall initiate three new tv wars this year to stimulate your senses and distract you from your worries. There will be lots of spectacular explosions to titillize your senses. And there is no need to worry because we won't harm your slumber by showing any innocent children being blown to bits. These wars promise to make your more secure because we are going to kill many more Muslims.
I promise to funnel more of your children's future to prop up our existing financial system. It's a small price to pay to make sure the bankers don't lose their way of life.
Let me be clear. Our future has never been dimmer and by the time I am done with my second term you will be so beat down that you won't mind a little R&R at Guantanamo Bay.
Thank you and may Allah bless you.
Your Fucker in Chief.
Here's a write up and video of Obama's socialist coming out of the closet speech that he gave about two months ago, if anyone still had any doubts.
Obama Attacks Capitalism
Pretty sure I just say Madoff clapping...
GM !!!!!!!! I knew I shouldn't be watching this
"the office of the president exists not to wield power, but to distract attention away from it."
Douglas Adams- the guide
"What is happening in Detroit can happen in other industries". Besides the mixed metaphor, that is a scary thought
Wow....you mean Detroit might happen here in Silicon Valley?? Just think of the shorting opportunities.
Because I'm in a hotel this morning (Asia time), I cannot smash my TV in response to the SOTU speech (POTUS SOTUS). For that inability to stimulate economic growth and GDP via the broken window fallacy, I blame Obama.
C-13.
+1 Hahahhaha
POTUS SOTUS HOCUS POCUS
GM is the number one automaker, Ford didn't take taxpayer monies. No dealerships want your Volt on their lot.
How about "previous administration" or the standard 'drove the car in the ditch" routine.
My question, how the hell does this clown have a 44% approval rating?
Did I just hear JFK !???
Obama: If we bring back NIKE, the cost of shoe will exceed $500.
Why aren't Biden and Boehner eating corndogs?
535 sycophants ruling 320 million people. I'm pretty sure the numbers are on our side.
Guess his "Job creating Buddy, Immelt, is not in the gallary
WTH happened to John Kerry?! Beatdown outside a bar in Southie?
He slipped on his way out to his limo.
Got caught out on the street getting questioned about SOPA or PIPA? Or that Global warming e-mails?
I'm feeling the same way watching Obama as I got watching Tony B. Liar - ill...
DavidC
Kicking China now - interesting
Trade Enforcement Unit.
Welcome to Protectionism.
How's that gonna work? I'm pretty sure people aren't manufacturing bootleg DVDs and CDs and shipping them to China. What a joke.
Guess we don't need to sell more paper to China, so fuck them....building a case for our eventual default on that paper.
Imelt could not attend. He is scouting factory sites in China.
The US just likes to call China a dumper in order to scapegoat problems like Solyndra.
US Claims China is “Dumping” Solar Panels When Exactly the Opposite is TrueMy crony capitalism will make sure our unions come first. No LED/light bulbs will not go uninspected before we put this globalisated product on the retail market.
Awesome.
Government gets bigger. Trade Enfourcement Unit.
When in doubt create either a Committe or an Unit. Investigate....Refuditate.....Self Deport. Opps, may have just strung together too many soundbites there ;)
Every time this putz signs a piece if paper you can expect more to come out of your wallet.
Green companies are licking their chops about now.
I think I've heard him announce at least three new units so far.
Our teachers need your help to fund underwater pension programs. Your passion is a bargin worth making.
Let's give students the chance to attend the school of his or her choice. I'll support teachers if u will support the voucher system and not the public school indoctrination monopoly.
Let's hear it for the voucher system!!
Hahahahaha - all kids MUST stay in high school... Homeland security to double as truant officers. Hahahahha. This is sick shit.
So I guess homeschooling is now illegal? LOL, not very well thought out.
Shame.
Must be the new rage.
As the Tomcat said to the skunk, though it's been grand..............
I've enjoyed all of this that I can stand.....
You said you'd stick with me thru thick and thin, I know.........
The longer you stick, the thinner I get, you'll have to go.....
(to the tune of "he'll have to go".
Are we gonna send dropouts to jail? Or their parents?
Where's all this pie in the sky bullshit coming from?
"We'll run out of money." Aren't we already out of money???
I think I just got a glimpse of johnny corzine ,sitting in a chair way in the far corner with a dunce hat
In the next five year, we will run out of money. Help a negro fund the college industry to avoid deportation
"We relied less on imported oil last year" cause of unemplyed citiZens
Is the State of the Union address normally this partisan?
Aw, shit. So now we're gonna hafta win the race TO the future before we even get the chance to WIN the future?
Fuck that. Let's blow the shit outta the future instead. It'll be quicker.
You heard me. It's time for...
WAR ON THE FUTURE!
No one likes what it looks like. No one is sure if it's on our side or not.
Put it to rest. Put the future down like a dog.
Wind Turbines !!!!
What about Solar Mr B?
Touchy subject is it?
The staying in school blew me away. Sorry - not everyone is destined for higher education. And a lot of people have done very well without it.
Never forget being a T.A. for a first year course in an academically challenging department/school. Most of the kids gave it their best but I could see a few were struggling. But their parents thought they should be there.
Just like every person deserves a house..look where that got us.
At this point, staying in School just helps with keeping the Unemployment rate from growing..more explosively, while creating more debt on the schooled.
The one trillion Education debt will grow. Banks will have more access to personal wealth as co-signers for student loans sign their future away.
What a debt machine America has Become-Obama.
Did you hear Obama's going to fight illegal immigration starting with sending his aunt and uncle back to Kenya. Then hopefully himself. Damn Uncle Toms... i'd rather vote for my waiter for prez than this guy
I can't stand how he bangs his hands on the podium. It drives me nuts.
Over the last three years, I fleeced the taxpayers on failing solar companies. If I don't get more taxpayer monies for Mr. Picken's natural gas program, I will release more from the SPR.
"the easiest way to save money is to not to spend money"
You just knew he was going to double down on the green energy thing (Damn the Solyndra, full speed ahead!) but did Obama just task the Navy with spearheading a new clean electricity campaign?
Windmills on ship decks....I wouldn't put it past this guy.
Time to go long on 3-masted schooners...
Wow! This guy is awe inspiring.
Wow he just promised no doc loans. Where have I heard that before?
